Something to Prove Songtext
von No Time To Think

The young got something to prove
They just can′t make a move
They just sell their attitudes
And try to give the business and blues
The young got something to prove
They just assume they've been bruised
They′re terrified to lose
When the world turns obtuse

The futures here, user beware
Only bring it up because I'm scared
That I've lived too little to think I′ve lived so long
When I don′t often believe in myself
I rely on everyone else
And every time I seem to end up writing the same song


The young got something to prove
But they're hanging from a noose
They′ve simulated all abuse
And they're still terrified to choose
The young got something to prove
They′re just tired of being baboons
They need plenty of cartoons
But never too much room

Taking all bets
If if this is war you better know what to expect
And if not then when to cease fire
And I'm gonna set a mandate
For all of us make mistakes
That show us the things we need and desire

The young got something to prove
But they′re stuck in some recluse
They hate every ruse
They expect you to make the truce
The young got something to prove
As they dream of who's who
They just don't have a clue
They want it to be over soon


Some ask for houses and are given pebbles
Others ask for bridges and are given shovels
But don′t balk on the lack of answers that get nailed through
Treated like bastards, trying to be a man
Spoiled rotten but doing what they can
Cuz after all they′re just a carbon copy too

The young got something to prove
Even though the day is through
They won't settle for renew
And they just might blame you
The young got something to prove
They′re tired of your old news
And all your old reviews
Now they're just confused
There′s nothing left to do
